one. good night. hello! there is quite a big change on the way in our weather, a transition to something colder. that cold air right now lurking to the north of us, is going to sink its way southwards as we head through the weekend, but it's not a straightforward process. milder air tries to stage a comeback from the southwest through the early part of next week, before this arctic air really wins out. but as that transition takes place, it may well be that some places see some quite significant snowfall, some ice in the mix as well. and certainly it is going to turn cold for all of us into next week. the first signs of that cold air digging in behind this cold front, bringing a band of cloud and patchy rain southwards across scotland, northern ireland. ahead of that, through the night, england and wales seeing large amounts of clouds and mist and fog patches down towards the south.
6:57 pm
behind our weather front, the skies will clear, but there'll be some showers and it will be pretty windy up towards the far north of scotland. gales for the western and northern isles. a touch of frost for some in northern scotland. conversely, where we start saturday morning with this cloud, mist, murk, outbreaks of rain, it will be a milder start to the day. 0ur frontal system continuing its journey slowly southwards through the day. a lot of cloud ahead of it. behind it though, lots of sunshine, but with scattered showers which will be wintry over high ground in northern scotland. certainly a colder feel to the weather, here will stay quite windy in the north as well. still milderfor the time being further south. now sunday getting off to a cold start for many. quite a lot of sunshine around with a scattering of wintry showers. but through the day we see this approaching frontal system from the west bringing some rain into northern ireland, southwest scotland, northwest england, parts of north wales. now this is a warm front and it's going to try to usher in some milder air, but that cold air will still be sitting to the north.
6:58 pm
and as this weather fronts and this area of low pressure runs eastwards, that interaction between the milder and the cold air could give some of us some quite significant snow, but there is still a lot of uncertainty about exactly where that might be. but as that low swings away eastwards, all of us will be left in the cold air later next week with some wintry showers.
